Ludwig Blum (Brno, 1891 - Jerusalem, 1974)"View of Jerusalem"Oil on canvas. Signed and dated in 1957.60 x 100 cm. Ludwig Blum was a prominent painter known as "the painter of Jerusalem". He studied art at the Royal Academy in Vienna and later in Amsterdam, Paris, London and Madrid, before emigrating to Palestine in 1923 and settling in Jerusalem, where he co-founded the first Artists' House in 1949. Years earlier, in 1933, he received an award from the Royal Academy of Arts in London. Blum's works are divided into four periods: the first focuses on the search for his own style, the second includes portraits, landscapes and still lifes executed in a dry and naturalistic manner, the third depicts combatants during the War of Independence and the fourth includes views of the entire country after the establishment of the State. In 1968 he received the honorary award "Yakir Yerushalayim" for his artistic contribution to the city. This is an award given annually by the Jerusalem municipality to citizens who have made an outstanding contribution to the cultural and educational life of the city. In 2011, Blum's work was exhibited at the Museum of Biblical Art (MOBIA) in Manhattan.Our work is a magnificent example of what is most representative of Blum's corpus: the views of the city that welcomed him, for which he became world renowned.

*MAX BAND (1900-1974) A portrait of a Jewish worker in an interior depicted three-quarter length, signed lower left, oil on canvas, 98cm x 62cmProvenance: Private collection, Dorset.Max Band was born in Kudirkos Naumiestis, Lithuania in 1900. This small village offered very little artistic guidance, however the young Band was determined to create. His first oil painting was made with homemade brushes he created from sticks.Band made his way to Berlin to study art where his talents were first recognised by the public. One of his first drawings was selected by his teacher and entered into an open exhibition. Upon seeing the work, a wealthy collector tracked down Band to purchase the drawing. Never considering or putting much care into the financial value his artwork should garner Band could not name a price. Upon being pressed for a figure, Band responded that he valued time over money, so a figure was agreed upon based on two months' worth of food.The French critic Paul Fierens described the early period of Band's career stating, "The refinement of his color, this what he owes to France, that that he has taken something of Chardin, Corot or Bonnard, but the Parisian sky, after Lithuania and the Louvre, quite naturally became his third master. Paris, with its pale azure, its inimitable greys, its delightful white, offered itself to Max Band as an example and gave him excellent advice." Max Band's artistic output was largely made up of still lives, landscapes, and portraits of the sea. These subjects offer a free flow of color and movement. He also created many works of the Jewish religious experience during his life. These paintings offer a deep richness of feeling that could only be reflected by an artist of his skill and above all experience living through WWII.If one label can be attached to Band's artwork it is Humanism. Whether it be the natural world, or more personal subjects, Band had a unique expression for deeper qualities hidden beneath the surface. This unique vision was best stated by the artist in describing one of his paintings of Jewish Talmudic scholars, "After living in France for nearly twenty years I began to see something strange in the eyes of the people. As the threat of bombing grew ever more menacing, the proud French people, who for centuries had walked in pride and freedom, as befitted a nation universally regarded as the epitome of culture and spirit, began to live in fear. It showed in their eyes and gestures. They listened for threatening sounds in the night." Max Band left France in 1940 for the United States where he lived and worked for the remainder of his career. He passed away in 1974.Framed dimensions: 113cm x 77cm

VALENTINA PETROVA (b.1922) Still life signed lower right, oil on canvas, 40cm x 40cmValentina Petrova was born in Kanev (Ukraine) in 1922. As a 14 year old she was introduced to Isaak Brodsky, the important Stalinist period artist, who was probably the most famous artist in the USSR at the time, at the art school in Dneprodyrszinsk, Ukraine. Brodsky arranged for her to move to the art school attached to the Repin Academy, where she studied from 1936-40, then graduating to Repin Academy proper from 1940-41. During the siege of Leningrad she was brought into the War Service. In the mid 1940s she married fellow artist Leonid Petrov (b. 1921), and they had a son, Aleksandr, in 1947, who carried on the family tradition and went on to become an artist himself. Following her son's birth, Valentina returned to the Repin Academy to complete her studies, under professors Belkin, Kibric and Loganson, graduating with a Gold Medal. Petrova went on to work in publishing, but continued to paint, exhibitinhh in Russia, Poland and Italy. Framed dimensions: 52cm x 51.75cm

Registration No: RGK 78V Chassis No: XLV10000685417 MOT: ExemptSubject to an extensive restoration in 2018Recently shod with new rear tyres and last serviced in 2022Offered with a collection of invoices, handbook and a workshop manualIntroduced in January 1960, the Mini Panel Van utilised a stretched version of its saloon car sibling’s platform, it sported a pressed steel grille, sliding windows and external door hinges throughout its twenty-three year production life. In 1978, the commercial vehicles were renamed to 'Mini 95', reflecting the 0.95 ton gross weight of the van and pick-up. In 1979, an 'L' pack was introduced, which included front carpets, houndstooth cloth centre sections to the seats, additional sound-proofing and a passenger sun visor.This 1980 Austin Morris 95L van reached the end of four-year extensive ‘regardless of cost’ restoration in c.2018, with the bodywork restored and repainted along with an overhaul of the mechanicals. We are told the bodyshell was dipped, any rust removed and new panels fabricated. Brightwork was replaced along with glass, rubbers and seals. Not stopping at that, an all new interior and headlining was fitted and bespoke, stained and varnished wooden trim benefitting the load space area.The mechanical areas received a new rear subframe and auxiliaries, a reconditioned front subframe and, as upgrades, electronic ignition and a 10" disc brakes fitted to the front. Importantly, the engine was refurbished with the cylinder head being overhauled with new valves, gaskets and seats etc.Presented in Ermine White the general condition is still excellent inside and outside, the underneath has been treated to Lanoguard. In 2022, the van was the subject of a full lubrication and service, that included a re-jet of the SU carburettors. The van was given new rear tyres in January 2024. Accompanying 'RGK 78V' is a full folder of history and paperwork. Registered as an Historic vehicle, there is a Heritage Certificate present, a spare key, a collection of old MOTs and invoices, an original handbook, a workshop manual, a period sales brochure and the current V5C Registration Document.

Registration No: UO 6944 Chassis No: 259167 MOT: ExemptSubject to a full restoration during the 1980sSupplied with an extensive history file that includes a buff logbook and many period documentsConverted to utility specification by Whiteway’s Cider in period and eligible for historic commercial vehicle eventsMorris Motors began in 1912 when bicycle manufacturer, William Morris, moved on from the sale, hire and repair of cars to car manufacturing. He planned a new light car assembled from bought-in components; in this way he was able to retain ownership by keeping within the bounds of his own capital resources. A factory was opened in 1913 at the former Oxford Military College in Cowley, Oxford, where Morris's first car, the two-seat Morris Oxford 'Bullnose' was assembled. Morris Cowley was a name given to various cars produced by the Morris Motor Company from 1915 to 1958. In 1926, the Bullnose radiator was replaced by a flat version known as the ‘Flatnose’ and built by Morris until 1931.First registered on the 31st May 1928, 'UO 2944' was built as a two-seat Tourer with dickey which was converted within the first few years of its life into a very pretty utility vehicle by Whiteway's Cider of Exeter. Fitted with its smart wooden pickup back, it was used regularly to transport bags of apples from the orchard to the pressing factory. It subsequently was transferred into the ownership of a local doctor and remained in his custodianship for over fifty years and was used to travel the length and breadth of the country - with a number of house moves between Devon and London recorded in the buff logbook on file. In 1980, and now in a rather dilapidated state, it was donated to a charity auction in aid of a local church and was sold to a Morris enthusiast who carried out an extensive, ground-up restoration which is documented via a set of photographs. After restoration, it became a regular sight at numerous Bullnose Morris Club events throughout the 1980s and featured in a number of the club magazines. Offered for sale in 2002, our vendor (who owns a number of Morris Oxfords and Cowleys) bought the vehicle via auction and has maintained the car himself ever since, attending a number of events including the London to Brighton Commercial Vehicle Run, where it was greatly received. In the vendor's words, mechanically it is in 'good fettle' and starts up very easily with all functions working as intended. The bodywork is still in a very respectable condition, with aging that is expected from a 40 year old restoration and the interior is in 'very good' condition, with the Blue leather seat suiting it very well. The mohair hood, also now 40 years old, is somewhat faded but appears in overall 'fair' condition. Now ready for a new, loving owner, 'UO 6944' is ready for enjoyment and will surely give many years of happy driving and should turn heads with its interesting history.

Registration No: Unregistered Chassis No: 220165 MOT: June 2024Current family ownership since 1976Original owners wallet with handbookAn old MOT certificate from 1976 and a few invoices from 1973PLEASE NOTE: This lots ignition key has snapped off in its barrell, a new Lucas ignition barrell is included but has not been fitted. The 121 was the base model of Volvo's 120 (Amazon) Series of cars designed in-house by Jan Wilsgaard and introduced in 1956. Unlike the slant-backed PV444/544, the newcomer was a modern-looking three-box design. Safety was already a priority for all Volvo models and the Amazon range featured a padded dashboard, laminated windscreen and seatbelt attachments front and rear - a Volvo first. Power came from a new OHV in-house unit initially of 1.4-litres, but increased to 1.6, 1.8 and eventually 2.0-litre capacity over the model's fourteen-year lifespan. These were mated to either three or four-speed manual gearboxes or a three-speed automatic unit. Suspension was independent at the front with wishbones and coil springs and by live axle, torque arms and coil springs at the rear. Braking was initially by drums all-round with discs becoming standard at the front from 1964. Over time the Amazon was available as either a two- or four-door Saloon or Estate. Like its predecessor, it was of tough construction and inherently good handling and roadholding and proved to be a successful competition car, both in the forest and on the track.First registered in Manchester on the 2nd August 1966, the 121 has resided in North Wales since the early 1970s. Finished in White and with an automatic transmission, this 121 began life at John Wallwork Ltd, Manchester, possibly as a showroom display or demonstrator. The 121 then came into the hands of Mrs M Richardson, Swinton, Manchester some 8 months later, in March 1967. The car moved to Llandudno in November 1970, before Mr W. Bennison, down the road in Colwyn Bay in Aug 1972 and further along the coast to Mr D. Clare of Abergele in December 1974 where it has remained in family ownership ever since. There is an old MOT certificate from 1976 showing the mileage as 7,220. Still possessing the original green logbook, the 121 also has the original instruction book, even with the automatic transmission supplement still present. There is the old MOT certificate from 1976 and a few invoices from 1973.Due to the long-term ownership, the Volvo has never had a V5 document and due to this will need to be re-registered with the DVLA before being ready for the road again.

Registration No: KVW 147Y Chassis No: ZAR11637003017518 MOT: April 2025Supplied new by Bridge Motors of Braintree, EssexKept garaged throughout its life and exceptionally well preservedExtensive and detailed history fileGo find another like this!PLEASE NOTE: This lot now has a fresh MOT certificate valid until April 17th 2025Featuring a drivetrain layout that Alfa Romeo had last used on its all-conquering Tipo 158/159 Grand Prix cars, the Alfetta saloon was launched in 1972. Based around a monocoque bodyshell, the newcomer was equipped with independent torsion-bar front suspension, a De Dion back axle, rack-and-pinion steering and four-wheel disc brakes. Boasting excellent weight distribution thanks to its rear-mounted five-speed transaxle, the Alfetta was initially powered by a 1779cc version of Alfa Romeo's famous four-cylinder 'twin-cam' engine. Widely praised by the contemporary motoring press for its handling and roadholding, the three-box saloon spawned a two-door fastback coupe variant in 1974. Penned by Giorgetto Giugiaro, the Alfetta GT was shorter, lighter and more aerodynamic (0.39 cd) than its sibling. Arriving during 1976, the range-topping Alfetta 2000 GTV was reputedly capable of over 120mph and helped Autodelta win the Group 2 (sub-2500cc) division of that season's European Touring Car Championship. Facelifted in 1980 and renamed the GTV 2.0 accordingly, the wedge-shaped four-seater remained in production for another seven years. Though, right-hand drive variants have always been something of a rarity. A true ‘timewarp’, this exceptional example has been in single family ownership and covered a mere 48,000 miles from new. Purchased by the late A. Richardson Esq from Bridge Motors of Braintree, they carried out the Pre-Delivery Inspection check at 531 miles with further services following at 3,101, 8,527, 20,736, 32,223, 37,416 and 43,517 miles. Although company registered at different times, the Alfa was Mr Richardson’s 'pride and joy' and he its only driver. Kept garaged throughout its life, the Coupe remains in remarkably original condition. The period-perfect interior features a wood-rimmed steering wheel, wooden gearknob, Black cloth-faced seats, fishnet headrests and rectangular instrument surrounds. Touch points such as the pedal rubbers and seat belts corroborate the low mileage. The fifteen-inch alloy wheels are shod with Goodyear tyres, while the engine bay still shows plentiful traces of the anti-corrosion treatment that the car received some forty-one years ago. The website howmanyleft.co.uk suggests that there are only forty-seven 1983 GTV 2.0s currently known to the DVLA. We doubt that any are better than ‘KVW 147Y’. Worthy of close inspection, this exquisite Alfa is offered for sale with V5C Registration Document, owner’s manual, service book, anti-corrosion book and fresh MOT certificate. Go find another!

Registration No: 387 XVD Chassis No: H-BJ7-L/20372 MOT: ExemptThe subject of an extensive, three-year long, 'body off, chassis up' restoration by Max Rowley (formerly of P&A Wood) and his teamParts repaired or replaced as necessary with help from marque specialist A-H SparesFinished in the stunning combination of Midnight Blue with Biscuit leather upholstery and matching carpets (extending to the boot)Resident in America for much of its life and still to LHD specification to aid European touringEntered from a private collectionOne of the most charismatic British sportscars ever made, the Big Healey used what was essentially the same silhouette to evolve from a pared-back, four-cylinder Roadster through to a more civilised, six-cylinder Convertible. Introduced in February 1962, the 3000 MkII 2+2 'BJ7' model (nicknamed the MkIIa) pioneered such 'luxuries' as wind-up windows, swivelling quarter-lights and a fixed convertible hood. While the fitment of stiffer coil springs to the independent front suspension and a more direct steering box enhances its handling / roadholding capabilities. The manual / overdrive transmission gained a new case, and the 2912cc straight-six engine reverted to twin SU carburettors. With a reputed 132bhp and 170lbft of torque on tap, Girling front discs became standard equipment. The American magazine 'Sports Car Illustrated' noting with some delight that the BJ7’s speedometer needle could be wound beyond its final 120mph marking. For some, the short-lived MkIIa is the pick of the Big Healey bunch thanks to its combination of the classical (non-wooden) dashboard layout and improved soft-top. Built to left-hand drive specification on June 28th-29th 1962, chassis H-BJ7-L/20372 was dispatched to J. Inskip Inc of New York some two weeks later. Enlisting the help of The Austin Healey Club, the vendor became the 2+2-seater’s sole registered UK keeper when it was issued with the number plate ‘387 XVD’ on November 1st 2018. Although a complete entity that pleasingly retained its original engine, the MkIIa was somewhat tired. A true petrolhead with an expansive and diverse stable, the seller decided to treat it to a very thorough, ‘body off, chassis up’ restoration. Undertaken by former P&A Wood master mechanic Max Rowley and his colleagues, the project took three years to complete. Working ‘hand in glove’ with marque specialist A-H Spares Ltd, the body was refurbished with new galvanised floors and replacement steel and aluminium panels as necessary. The suspension and brakes were rejuvenated, the wiring renewed and the engine extensively overhauled. New lights, indicators and reflectors were fitted and various instruments reconditioned. Finished in the unusual but very handsome combination of Midnight Blue with extended Biscuit leather upholstery and matching carpets (including the boot), ‘387 XVD’ remains highly presentable. Tuned by an engineer well versed in preparing cars for historic motorsport, the engine burst into life upon inspection sounding throaty and purposeful in equal measure. A-H Spares Ltd remain very proud of their involvement in the car and indeed have described it as ‘truly one of the best examples of the marque that can be found anywhere’. In the enviable position of having more sportscars than he can find the time to use, the vendor has decided to thin his collection down. Seemingly ideal for Continental touring and offered for sale at a fraction of its restoration cost, this decidedly special Big Healey comes with a V5C Registration Document and restoration details etc. For more information, please contact: Damian Jones damian.jones@handh.co.uk 07855 493737

Registration No: FDH 133H Chassis No: 1102517765 MOT: ExemptVery original and rare in this 'survivor' conditionRare and desirable Cobalt Blue with White interiorJust c.39,000 from new and with the original 'F code' engineEnthusiast owned and maintained for regular use at classic VW eventsNew for 1968, the semi-automatic Beetle was available on 1300cc and 1500cc models. Think of it as 3 gears (plus reverse) but without a clutch. The semi-auto has many fans and is mimicked by modern cars today. The Beetle utilised a torque convertor in simple but clever set-up. VW brochures of the time described it: "Drive 1, you can drive around town all day, Drive 2 is for the open road. Once you’re cruising above 55mph, you can shift or stick into it. And save extra gas. Another good thing about our new automatic stick shift is that you also can use it as a manual transmission. You simply shift through all 3 forward gears (Low, Drive 1, Drive 2) using the stick without a clutch."An unmodified 'survivor' Beetle with extensive originality, it began life as a 'special order' from Willenhall Coachcraft Volkswagen by Mrs H. Meads of Aldridge, aunt of the next and long-time custodian, Derek Crowther of Ludlow. 'FDH' was ordered in Cobalt Blue with a White interior and delivered on 10th March 1970. Displaying just some 39k credible miles, this is a 'never been pulled apart' true survivor which has merely had its original paint maintained, replacement wings, a front valance, and new running boards. The body and panel gaps are exceptional and just goes to show the pampered life it’s had, and garaged most of its life too, certainly by the vendor. The vendor advises us "it does have some paint chips on the edge of the driver's door along with a few other very small marks on the car, but all in all it’s truly stunning and so very original, please don’t get this confused with a restored car, it does have some patination, but that certainly adds to the car. Finding these original unrestored cars is next to impossible". The White interior being testament to how clean this car is now and how it has been cared for over the years and its low mileage. All the interior is in excellent condition with no damage apparent. A real rarity to find in such a genuine condition, the interior is original and very fresh and rarer to find an example that has never had a radio fitted. 'FDH' still retains its original warranty sticker in the passenger side window.In the words of the vendor: "It’s a 1300 semi-auto that’s incredibly easy to drive but can easily be converted to manual if that’s what you want. I think the semi-auto cars will have a much different appeal in years to come due to the next generation driving all these new auto cars". 'FDH' will be driven to Buxton by its VW collector/enthusiast owner; only selling due to space being made for an earlier car. Offered with the original sales receipt on file along with other history. It comes with a box full of all its history from day one including its original purchase receipt, there’s lots of other bits about it such as newspaper clippings. 'FDH' has won a few trophies in the past and those come with it. Accompanied by a current V5C. For more information, please contact: Andrew Talbot andrew.talbot@handh.co.uk 01925 210035

Registration No: A861 VUU Chassis No: WDB1070422A003521 MOT: April 2025Supplied new via Mercedes-Benz of Nicosia (Cyprus) and imported to the UK by its first owner two years laterEligible for a zero rated (free) road fund licenceEighteen main dealer and specialist service stampsResident in London for much of its life and kept garagedComes with hardtop, (barely used) soft-top and optional rear seats etcPLEASE NOTE: This lot now possess a MOT certificate valid until April 2025. The odometer has recently stopped functioning but shows some 106,000 miles and not 109,000 as catalogued.Nicknamed the 'Panzerwagen' by Mercedes-Benz's own development engineers, the R107 series was the result of an extremely thorough design process. In an attempt to avoid falling foul of threatened American safety legislation, Stuttgart produced an open car whose structural rigidity surpassed that of some contemporary saloons! Indeed, even now some fifty years after its introduction the R107 retains a reassuring air of solidity. Allied to this was sure-footed handling courtesy of all-round independent coil-sprung suspension, power-assisted steering and disc brakes. Always more of a grand tourer than an out and out sports car, the vast majority of R107s were fitted with automatic transmission. Launched in September 1974, the Eurocentric 280SL was less powerful but more fuel-efficient than its V8 brethren. Though with some 185bhp and 177lbft of torque on tap from its fuel-injected 2746cc DOHC straight-six engine, the model could still boast authoritative 120mph performance. A distinct rarity in that it has only ever been registered to two members of the same family (father and son), chassis WDB1070422A009521 was factory finished in the attractive combination of Blue-Green Metallic with Dark Blue upholstery and a Dark Brown soft-top. Nicely specified, the 280SL boasts a Behr air-conditioner, 15-inch alloy wheels, optional rear seats and electric windows / mirrors. Supplied new by Mercedes-Benz of Nicosia, Cyprus, they carried out the first of eighteen services recorded in the accompanying maintenance booklet. Imported to the UK during 1986, the 280SL has always been kept garaged to the benefit of its bodywork (the wheelarches etc are notably sound). Warranted to have covered a modest 109,000 miles (the equivalent of 2,725 per annum), ‘A861 VUU’ has recently been recommissioned following a period of dry storage and is expected to possess a fresh MOT certificate by the time of sale. Due to be driven to Buxton, this appealing and well preserved 280SL is offered for sale with V5C Registration Document, owner’s manual, service book and assorted MOTs dating back to 1988 at 30,591 miles.

Registration No: 475 XVD Chassis No: B49DE MOT: ExemptDelightfully presenting well in Black over Silver plus a Gold coach stripeFully UK registered with V5CPreviously re-lacquered dashboard and new carpetsFitted with modern indicators for better visibility to modern trafficThe Bentley S1 was unveiled in April 1955. A very different car from its predecessors, it was longer and wider and based on a much stiffer chassis. Though the traditional body-on-chassis construction facilitated the manufacture of special-bodied versions, most were delivered with the standard offering produced by Pressed Steel Ltd, featuring alloy doors, bonnet and boot lid.Powered by the final iteration of the company's venerable 4.9-litre straight six engine featuring revised cylinder-head porting, power was quoted at 178bhp. As standard, the unit drove through a four-speed automatic gearbox with steering column control. Suspension was independent at the front by wishbones and coil springs and employed a leaf-spring mounted live axle at the rear. Braking was by drums all round. A total of 3,107 examples were produced between 1955 and 1959.Understood to have originally been supplied as a UK car from new, chassis B49DE was acquired by our vendor in 2018 as a car that had been previously repainted to a high standard into the attractive colour combination of Black over Silver with a Gold pinstripe. This elegant car appears to have been treated with great care throughout its life and retains the original Cream leather interior which is in an attractive patinated state with great opportunity to improve further through attention to the seats, however, the woodwork has been relacquered at some point in the car's history and still presents with a wonderful shine. The vendor has advised that the car 'runs very well indeed' and has used the car on several occasions for local events and that it has had some level of maintenance to keep it in good working order.
